It is important to note that home aunt/uncle DNA testing is not as reliable as other types of DNA testing such as a sibling test or a parent-child test. This is because aunts and uncles only share about 25% of their DNA with their nephews or nieces. The results of this type of testing should be interpreted with caution and should not be used as the sole basis for making important life decisions such as inheritance or legal matters.
